Gobbstopper Seeds

Growing Tips for Gobbstopper

Gobbstopper is an easy strain to grow and is perfect for first-timers looking to cut their teeth on a solid strain. Gobbstopper marijuana plants will thrive indoors and outdoors, but have an easier time growing indoors because of the ability to completely control the climate. If you choose to grow indoors, you will need to replicate a steady environment with consistent warmth and moderate humidity. Gobbstopper cannabis seeds grow into plants with long and tall buds that grow far above the smaller leaves of the plant.

If you choose to grow outdoors, you will need consistent temperature and humidity throughout the season to bring these plants to completion. Doing so will ensure that you grow healthy buds from the top of the plants to the buds closest to the soil. Having access to a greenhouse is the best way to give these plants the ideal outdoor climate without having to contend with unexpected weather variables — particularly useful across much of Canada where summers can be short or unpredictable. These plants grow to a medium stature and can reach around 90–210 centimetres tall. Because the plants reach a maximum indoor and outdoor height of just under 210 centimetres, you will need to keep an eye on the vertical growth of these plants.

The ideal temperature for these plants is around 21–25 degrees Celsius and slightly cooler at night. Humidity levels should be kept around 40–60% during the vegetative growth stage and the flowering stage, but gradually lowering the humidity each week will help this plant thrive. Growing indoors will ensure that moderate humidity levels and moderate temperatures are consistent and maintained every day that the plants are in the growing stages.

Topping, High-stress training (HST), Screen of Green (ScrOG), and Low-stress training (LST) methods are the best training techniques for this particular strain of cannabis. If performed correctly and at the right time, these techniques will promote bud production and increase final yields. LST and HST manipulate the plants by tying down the branches to increase the size and density of the buds while allowing them to grow almost naturally. Topping is used to control the height of the plant and buds. The ScrOG technique will keep the heaviest buds on the plant by reinforcing the stems and branches they grow on. The Gobbstopper strain requires an 18–20 hour light cycle to reach the vegetative growth stage. Changing the light cycle to a 12/12 cycle will help to induce the flowering stage of growth and get your plants to harvest.

Yields, Flowering Time, and Harvest

• Flowering Time: Growing indoors, you can expect the Gobbstopper strain to harvest after a short flowering period of 55–65 days.
• Yields: Indoor yields are around 450 grams per square metre, while outdoor grows typically produce up to 450 grams per plant. While the buds of this plant are massive, each plant only produces a small number of them.
• Harvest: Outdoor growers across Canadian growing regions can plan on harvesting their yields around the middle of October, depending on when the seeds were planted.

Gobbstopper: Earthy, Diesel, Herbal

The Gobbstopper cannabis strain terpene profile is directly responsible for how the plant smells and tastes, and the strong effects it has on its users. The most dominant terpene in this strain is caryophyllene, while myrcene and limonene are the secondary terpenes.

• Caryophyllene: Most Dominant - This is known as the spicy or peppery terpene and can be found in cloves, black pepper, and cannabis plants.
• Myrcene: Secondary Terpene - Myrcene is earthy in scent and flavour and found almost exclusively in cannabis plants.
• Limonene: Citrus Flavour and Aroma - Limonene is found mostly in the rinds of citrus fruits such as lemons and oranges.
